Crandall Public Library

Written and Directed by Jesse Eisenberg; starring Kieran Culkin (2025 OSCAR, GOLDEN GLOBE, SUNDANCE, BAFTA, and SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARD WINNER)

Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.  - RottenTomates.com

“Eisenberg uses this cockeyed version of a road movie to tell a funny, moving, casually profound story about family, friendship, the weight of the Jewish past, the weight of everyone’s past and the different ways one deals with suffering.” John Powers, NPR, 10/30/24
